At the start of the procedure, a mini-sternotomy about 8 centimeters long will be made, where the clipping equipment will be inserted into the front and back of the aneurysm. A small camera, which generates very high definition images, is then inserted to give the surgeon a wide view.

A prosthesis, usually made of dacron, will be placed at the site of the dilation and the necessary anastomoses will be made. In some cases it is necessary to remove the coronary arteries and, after the procedures, re-implant them, the so-called Bentall operation.
If the aortic valve has problems due to the aneurysm or degeneration, it will be replaced with a mechanical or biological prosthesis, according to parameters such as age, the presence of other diseases and other medical guidelines.

The use of the minimally invasive approach means that the average hospital stay is 5 days. With less pain and discomfort, the patient can return to their daily activities in a short time.
